Yup. This is proving tough on my brother. He bought into the Party Line, and has been long proud of working for a Party Paper. He, and my sister in law, are ardent Obamaklesians; and, yes, for all the AmeriSoc reasons..... It seems there was hope that the triumph of Obama would lead to government support for Party Papers, and so ensure their survival. Heck, that may happen yet, but not in time--maybe-- to save the Globe.

I thought more in terms of a pinko supercollider, but OK. Looks like the brass tacks come to the unions even when management is the Sulzbergers.

Oh well. Boston never really deserved or wanted anything else but the Phoenix and Guardian.

A sad state of affairs. I still think The Hub deserves a quality newspaper -- but it's not a God-given premise. If GM can go under, why not the Globe? But, AA, consider this: after the implosion of the Soviet Union, the Party Organ par excellence, Pravda, managed to survive and prosper, reinventing itself as some kind of commie-pinko tabloid, replete with pics of babes, and stories about aliens chasing those babes. All things considered, don't you think it's sad to see that our Pinko Papers are less nimble than the Rooskies'? Methinks it says something about AmeriSoc -- and it's not something cheerful.

Agreed, Tecumseh. And look at the Brit papers, which face all the stresses of modern technology on their reader base that ours do, and certainly get no government largesse, yet have found [varied] means of making a go of it. Part of that may well be that they have writers, rather than journo school grads, chunking out most of their pieces. But part may well be, as you suggest, that our entrepeneurial "can do spirit is at such an ebb that the sheer imagination of how to survive and compete has vanished. Sad, pathetic, painful..... yet so inexorably a consequence of the PP mindset. It is like watching someone of vibrant intelligence get hooked on Meth, and knowing that their destruction is certain-- the only question being how rapid or gruesome. This is Suicide.

Where did Keynes' animal spirits go?
